Through a feminist lens, it examines key discourses, including academic performativity and identity, and critically analyzes how these discourses are intertwined with the structure, systems, operations, and cultures of the university. By conducting in-depth qualitative interviews with academic women in Australia, the author employs a range of experimental methods to highlight the performative and discursive choices that women make regarding their academic careers. Through this exploration, the book unveils how women actively contribute to the generation of neoliberal and feminist shifts, navigate the complexities they create, and carve out spaces of influence. Moreover, it offers fresh perspectives on gender inequality in the Australian university context during the neoliberal era, challenging prevailing narratives and prompting a re-evaluation of existing discourses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the gendered dimensions of academic life in contemporary Australian universities, examining key discourses such as academic performativity and identity through a feminist lens.
